I reuse the same exact container, fill it with pine or Fabuloso, and water, great for kitchen counter surfaces, tables door knobs, and ur refrigerator handles.
Great video but like people are saying there's no paper towels so I'm using baby wipes & just pouring the alcohol on them in their package & close it up & take them with me too. Hope everyone is staying safe🙏
If in the budget get paper shop towels from Lowe's or Home depot. They are heavy duty and everyone ignores stuff like that. Remember ladies Home improvement stores got all kinds of stuff you can get creative with.
Great reusable idea. I have been wiping things down everytime we purchase items at a store and I feel bad for making so much waste. I will be doing this from now on.
Hi! You can also use wet mop refills and add your own disinfectants to the already wet ones or use the dry ones and add your own mix in a reused container from old wipes. That kind of material holds up far better than paper towels. Also, you can get 15 in a pack at the dollar tree. There is other cloth like wipes of a similar material there and these can be cut to size and used the same way.
one of my ways i do this is that i used a already used coffee container (like the maxwell house one, i washed it and rinsed it out really good) & since i dont mind sitting and tearing apart the paper towels into smaller sheets, thats what i did, i love using the ajax tropical lime twist to it 🥰
Thank you for this video! Keep an eye out at your local Dollartree for the alcohol; ours has it every now and then with a limit of course. Prayers to all!
I was going to say that, 1.No tap water 2. NO Commercial detergents they have tons of dyes and chemicals. You can make them natural and very effective. You can even make Hand /baby wipes. 🌱💚💙
Thank you.Me being brought up in the mountains and not having much I was taught use your old cloths as cleaning rags. Old T-shirt’s, cloth diapers, old sheets, towels. But them into squares. You can use 4 table spoons of bleach to 2 cups of water . Put this is a spray bottle and spray your area then wipe it down. You can have a bucket for your “dirty cleaning rags” wash them and reuse them. Saves money on paper towels and the environment. When my children ( all in their 30’s now) were little I carried my cleaning rags in a ziplock bag moistened with a few drops of alcohol and water to clean my little monsters in the go.. and washed them later and reused again and again.
I used a 13x8 container with a lid that I got from the Dollar Store and then I tore off the Shop Towels and stacked about 15 -20 and cut the stack right down the Middle. I the used like 3 or 4 32oz bottles of Purcell Disinfectant and poured a little in the bottom of the container first, then I stacked about 1-1/2 inch worth of the Shop Towels and then poured some more Disinfectant on top and kept stacking and pouring until I filled it up to the top and put the lid on it. I ended up using both of the rolls of the double pack Shop Towels. My wife Loves it!
Fantastic video. Factual(as per CDC), and professional presentation. starting with 99% alcohol is a great idea, if you can find it without taking out a second mortgage.
Thank you for the awesome video!!! For those of you who sew...I cut 5x5 to 6x6 squares of fabric and serged the edges so they can be washed and reused! :)
Great Idea. Thank you for making the video so easy to follow. Be safe and God Bless You! I am a new subscriber now after watching this video. Thank You.
I'm such a germaphobe I always made sure I had Lysol or Clorox wipes , Lysol spray and hand wipes in my car and purse. I miss the days when I could just run into the supermarket at night and there they would be tons on the shelf and I would buy a few containers. I'm down to two containers of wipes left. Can't find alcohol anywhere.
Thank you from an essential worker (Sara Lee bread)! I am going to make these to give to Amazon, UPS and company. Thanks again from Tulsa, Oklahoma☮️💖✝️. 🇺🇸👢
What I have been doing is filling up my dish pan with bleach and dishsoap and hot water and just use what I need of paper towels (Bounty) then wipe everything down. Then everything is freshly wiped.
Winteel these supplies have always been there till we all really needed them. I’m just thankful that I had a great pantry and medicine cabinet before covid19 broke lose.
Thanks for the great idea. Shelves in Aust. have run out of sanitising cloths and hand sanitiser. Rubbing alcohol is good and you can get it from the chemist. Failing this you can use vodka. Add a little aloe Vera to this lovely recipe and yo can get a hand sanitiser .
Its sad but you have to be in stores at the right time.. i lucked up in Walmart today and grabbed some alcohol and disinfectant wipes.. they weren’t in the cleaning isle but over where the disposable wipes are near the hygiene products
I have found containers at Walmart and on Amazon that fit a whole role of paper towels instead of having to cut them in half...and be sure to get the "select a size" sheets
I can’t be certain but 70% alcohol versus 99% alcohol means that 29% of the container is water. So if you use 99% alcohol and then dilute it with water you end up doing the same thing reducing the potency of the alcohol.
Yes, intentionally, a 96º alcohol is not effective against virus, do your own research. I don't know because it evaporates too early or there is another chemical reason. The final solution must have from 60º to 70º as happens with the industrial hand sanitizer.
Or just use 70% isopropyl alcohol undiluted with water. Your chances of finding 70% are much better than your chance of finding 91% and much, much better than 99%, anyway.
Hi, great tip, plan to use it. I have 91% Alcohol available. Can I use less water say third of a cup and have the same result? Good job. Keep up the good work.
Buy a distiller from Water Wise. I bought mine in 2014 and makes 4 gallons per day. It’s great to drink the purest water on Earth. And we use it for cooking as well.
CDC recommends a minimum of 60% alcohol concentration for it to be effective. When you added half cup of water to 1 cup of 99% alcohol, you cut the alcohol content by half. 99/2=49.5% alcohol content, which is below the recommended value.
Thank you very much!!!, I can't find clorox wipes in store, only on amazon but ridiculously expensive ,this video have been very helpful, God bless you! Stay safe!
Yes you can, I've seen other people adding drops of essential oils into it such as lavender, orange or even tea tree which has antifungal and antibacterial properties. Stay safe!

@@lblake5653 Not me I always think about other alternatives 😁. I make my own wipes out of things people ignore all the time.
Shirley Moore Great Idea
I use white wash clothes in a ziploc when finish I bring home dump in a bucket of hot water and Clorox then throw in washer and use again see no waste
FYI bleach works best with cold water, not hot water
Omgee... I do the same thing! I grabbed some $.47 white wash clothes from Walmart to wipe down all work surfaces at my job..
Sonia Sanchez love that idea, Because good luck finding paper towels nowadays

I have a tip for you: use distilled water next time. Tap water reduces alcohols dsinfectant properties.
Also anything over 70% I-so-pro-pal alcohol per CDC. The distilled water also helps it not to mold in humid environments.
Thank you for the great information! I'll definitely be making my own wipes.
@@lynnkiefer8373 Absolutely, I use Distilled water for homemade crafts ... Cremes, soaps, etc.
I was going to say that, 1.No tap water 2. NO Commercial detergents they have tons of dyes and chemicals. You can make them natural and very effective. You can even make Hand /baby wipes. 🌱💚💙

Looks great if you can find paper towel and alcohol.
Was at cost co at 10 am in Duncanville Tx, they had some at Cost Co.
Dollar stores have cotton swabs. CVS also has them. You can find paper towels just ask local stores when shipment comes in
@Mantralightofangels dollar stores
@@cynthiam4089 A lot of stores don't even know as it's a day by day basics.
For this recipe, you can get the shop paper towels in the automotive section at Walmart. Those are stronger than regular paper towels.
Thank you for the awesome video!!!
For those of you who sew...I cut 5x5 to 6x6 squares of fabric and serged the edges so they can be washed and reused! :)
Sheila Holland What types of fabric did you use?
Wish I had a serger. Would zig zag work?
Good idea ...thanks💜because depending on where you live the chances are slim to none finding Clorox/Lysol wipes ANYWHERE!
I buy the disinfectant wipes at Dollar General, 2 in a pk for $6.00. Just pull them aside and ask when they get shipment and be there
Thank you tracie you out here saving lives!
You’re welcome! 🤗✨
Great idea,and way cheaper than buying cleansing wipes...
Cool! I'm totally doing this but I'm going to use it with washable rags! Thanks for sharing this!

shop towels would probably be great for this.
Shop towel shed their color and fibers. Messy cloths lol
The shop towels I have don't shed fibers nor bleed in color. They are very sturdy and have good absorbance.
@@sassyrarebreed9914 Did you buy the blue shop paper towels on a roll? I just bought a roll from Walmart.

Haven't been able to find in stores or online Alcohol, Peroxide, Lysol spray, Purell or Clorax wipes. Feel like it's a set up.
Maybe but they are all prioritized for hospital use. Or they could be trying to kill us all. 🤔
Try Costco. I have had alot of luck with these items at Costco.
Winteel Try the dollar stores and use baby wipes.
Winteel these supplies have always been there till we all really needed them. I’m just thankful that I had a great pantry and medicine cabinet before covid19 broke lose.

Actually, it would cut it to closer 66.6%. 2 parts alcohol to 1 part water.
Kel ly has
I was wondering about that when I saw her put the water in. Less water then
@Kel ly You want to stretch your product especially since it's hard to come by now. Dilute it to the recommended effective limit and you'll be good.
I Will have to try this!
This is very helpful Tracie! Hopefully we can supply stores soon!
Awesome! I’m so glad you liked the video! 🤗

@@traciesplace bodegas are small pops and ma stores. They call them bodegas in the east coast. I live in LA and we have lots of liquor stores that have supplies. There alot more but they have stuff.
You can use grain alcohol. Use less alcohol & more water plus soap. Grain alcohol is 190 proof is why her alcohol is higher in percentage
denatured fuel alcohol would work in a pinch. it's around 95% ethanol with 2-5% isopropyl or Methanol. any hardware store in the US should have it in the paint thinner section.
Perfect time for a great video💖
Thank you Sis! 🤗✨🍃🌺
Ok that sucks no rubbing alcohol anywhere & ran out a while ago 😫

@@nicolesmith1647 denatured fuel alcohol. it's in any hardware store right next to the paint thinner.
Check in odd places. I found some at the gas station last week.
